Hey Michelle! I'm on the Yale waitlist too. And the wait is killing me!

Hello everyone! Congrats on your admits I got into Duke's MEM ($20K scholarship), Columbia's MPA-ESP (with $48K scholarship) and got wait-listed for Yale. I'm a Fulbright scholar, so would really like to know if any of you have an idea on the conversion of a waitlist to an admit at Yale. I am planning to specialize in water resources management and was really looking forward to join Yale's program but I might have to pick between Duke and Columbia now. I know Columbia is more generally oriented towards policy, but can anybody tell me what is the scope of learning the sciences aspect of water resource management at Columbia because I'm fully funded for this university? A general comparison of MPA-ESP vs MEM from the employability angle will be great!

I've received an admit from U-Mich SEAS and Duke's Nicholas School so far and I'm waiting to hear from Yale. Just wanted to know which university has a better program on water resources management specialization- Yale or Duke?
